This is a Stripped Down version of an old song of mine from 1994 called “Know What”. Lyrics by Stanley Jakubowitz.

Lyrics:

If you know what you are, so do II know what I want, reach for the skyComing together as I shake off these bluesShakily I stand, slowly I reach for you.And if at times the words are lost in the sayingKnow this time ain’t a game that I’m playingI’ve got one chance left to make it all come trueI’ll take my chances if you’ll be there, too.

Better know what you want, ‘cause I do.Better take it now before it slips away, too.

Make a choice, say the words, take a stand.Only comin’ 'round once, not again.I won’t be held up by your indecision.I’ve got a life to bring back from nowhere.I’ll do it if you’ll be there.Plans I’ve made if I have to be alone.I’ll change them as long as I knowThat you know what you want.

You’re gonna have to tell me what you wantCome on! Show me what it is you need.You’re gonna have to reach out, tooIf this is ever gonna succeed.You’re gonna have to make up your mindAnd then you’re gonna have to make me believeIf I ever thought that asking would make my dreams come trueThen I would’ve asked for someone like you.

But I never thought it. No, I never knew.Now I’ll ask again if you want me, too.

Make a choice, say the words, take a stand.Only comin’ 'round once, not again.I won’t be held up by your indecision.I’ve got a life to bring back from nowhere.I’ll do it if you’ll be there.Plans I’ve made if I have to be alone.I’ll change them as long as I knowThat you know what you want.

And when the music is silent and the sun is goneNo one on the stage except the last song.The one, for always, the one that’s never wrongLifts me up, picks me up, makes me strong.I’ll hold that, hold on to that for youBecause it’s you I want, yes I do.But you’re the one who makes this lie or truthI know where I stand, now I’m asking you.

Make a choice, say the words, take a stand.Only comin’ 'round once, not again.I won’t be held up by your indecision.I’ve got a life to bring back from nowhere.I’ll do it if you’ll be there.Plans I’ve made if I have to be alone.I’ll change them as long as I knowThat you know what you want.
